Yes: Liver cancer, can be cured with liver transplant. No other modalities are curative, just palliative. Palliative therapies include cryablation, chemoembolization and nexavar (sorafenib).

No: The position of the medical board in ohio is that cancer is not curable. It can, however, be placed into remission, which means that there is no detectable evidence of cancer. With that in mind, there are many approaches to liver cancer, both standard and holistic. I suggest you research both of these areas in regards to outcome, expense, and other factors.
